(A/N) I am entirely thankful to the reviewers (You know who you are) who have not gotten tired of my long absences yet. :,) I'm kinda sorta sick right now, so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update, but rest assured that I NEVER give up on a story. :P Thanks again!

We got through about an eighth of the drawers before finding anything useful, and even that tad bit of usefulness wasn't very useful at all.

I sat on the top of the library table in the middle of the room surrounded by open folders and scattered papers, a folder titled The Bond between Miko's resting in my lap.

The English term for Miko being Priestess, each Miko has a strong assortment of spiritual energy which flows through their bodies chakra points, influencing their chee and how much usage they are capable of.

The amount of spiritual energy a Miko is capable of using depends solely on the amout on will power the individual is born with. While some Miko's can tap their energies at birth, others will not be able to their entire lives, and others can only tap during stressful times in their lives.

Miroku sat down beside me with another stack of folders, and Sango sat behind me, using my back as a back rest. "Kagome, what if the Jewel didn't just draw powers, but manipulated them too?"

I glanced at my best friends husband. "What on earth are you talking about, Miroku?"

He read a few lines from the paper that seemed to hold all his interest now. " ' A demon aura drawing object, also referred to as a Magunetto, is a particularly disastrous form of either upperclass demonology, or a priestess's Sakusei, or creation. ' "

Sango whacked his head and grimaced when he whined. "The heck does that have to do with the stupid gem?"

Miroku rubbed his head and I stole the paper from him. "No, Miroku, I get where your going with this. You think that it doesn't draw Inuyasha's powers, but his aura instead, right?" He nodded his confirmation and I skimmed down the black and white page. " ' A priestess's Sakusei, like the demon's Waisetsu, does take on a life of its own, but in the most common case, the Sakusei in question is an entrapment for one or multiple souls, most commonly demons. The souls seeking to get out, draws forth any and all evil aura's in the vicinity, seeking more power and more escape leverage. ' "
